Title: Fluid delivery systems and methods
Inventor: DEAN KAMEN
IPC: B67D7/14
Filed: 2016-09-29
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of dispensing fluid.SOLUTION: A method of dispensing fluid includes three processes. A first one of these processes includes pumping fluid into a resilient variable-volume dispensing chamber 122. The dispensing chamber is in series with a normally present finite fluid impedance and an output 110. The impedance is sufficient so as to cause expansion of the dispensing chamber as it receives pumped fluid even while some fluid flows through the output. Another one of these processes includes repeatedly measuring a parameter related to volume of the dispensing chamber over time. A third one of these processes includes controlling the pumping of fluid on the basis of repeated measurements of the parameter to produce a desired fluid flow through the output. A corresponding system for dispensing fluid implements these processes.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5
